What is Urethroplasty Surgery?
Urethroplasty is a surgical procedure used to reconstruct or repair a damaged or narrowed urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body. It is usually performed to treat urethral strictures, which can occur due to injury, infection or previous surgeries.
During the procedure, the surgeon removes the scarred tissue and reconstructs the urethra using healthy tissue grafts or local flaps, depending on the severity and location of the blockage.

Different Types of Urethroplasty Surgeries and Their Costs
At Medicover Hospitals, we perform different types of urethroplasty procedures based on the area, cause and severity of urethral narrowing.
End-to-End Urethroplasty
This involves removing the narrowed urethral segment and directly reconnecting the healthy ends. It is favourable for short strictures.
End-to-End Urethroplasty Cost
The end-to-end urethroplasty cost ranges from Rs. 45,000 to Rs. 1,00,000 depending on stricture length and complexity.
Substitution (Graft) Urethroplasty
In this procedure, a graft (usually from the cheek or oral mucosa) is used to reconstruct the damaged urethra. It's performed for longer strictures.
Substitution Urethroplasty Cost
The substitution urethroplasty cost varies between Rs. 55,000 and Rs. 1,30,000 based on graft source and surgical method.
Flap Urethroplasty
A flap of local tissue is used to rebuild the urethral wall when grafting is not suitable. It ensures durability and improved healing.
Flap Urethroplasty Cost
The flap urethroplasty cost ranges from Rs. 60,000 to Rs. 1,40,000 depending on tissue availability and surgery duration.
Staged Urethroplasty
Performed in multiple stages for severe or complex cases, especially when infection or scarring prevents single-step reconstruction.
